3 years agoCleveland Indians first baseman Yu Chang was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday and is batting eighth in the lineup against Houston, according to Mandy Bell of MLB.com. To clear room on the roster, the Indians optioned relief pitcher Justin Garza to Triple-A. Chang did not look very good in his first stint with Cleveland this year, slashing .176/.211/.287 with two home runs, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored in 49 games. At Triple-A though, Chang has looked improved at the plate where he's hitting .310 with a .920 OPS over 11 games. Hopefully this time with Cleveland will produce better results, but for now there's no reason for managers to contemplate him as a viable option.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
